It's Bur....Joey Time! - GW discussion

[MrCraig]

The cabin is already in mid season form.

To quote a former president, "We love to see it, don't we folks?"

[appsfan]

More importantly than any of these game related topics. Is anyone not cooking burgers for the opening tailgate of the Burger era?

Nope, we're roasting Dogs at ours!

Same with us!

Marshall - Bison Burger
Ga State - McDonald's Cheeseburger - you can't beat it.

The impossible burger for unc-cheat is great

Im not eating it, but it’s perfect for that soft, obnoxious fan base. Pairs great with wine and cheese.

GO APPS!!

[Black Saturday]

You watched a player run against FCS defenses and he only ran for 110 yards once last year. My assessment is the threat isn’t so great, that as a fanbase we should be scared of him. Our coaches and players will be prepared.

Reasonable assumption from my perspective.

People that use terms like butt hurt are typically deflecting their emotions from my experience.

No, I watched a player that has averaged over 5.5 yards per carry his entire career and 6.4 yards a carry and over 100 a game last year. He actually had two games over 110 (137 and 245 -- 245 is a HUGE game regardless of level of football but you conveniently left that one out since it doesn't fit your narrative. I tried to be polite, but it's cool. You can be wrong too) and 6 of their 9 games going 100+ -- that's about as consistent as you can get. He's had two years as the primary RB and his numbers are all on par with Marcus Cox, Jalin Moore, and Darrynton Evans over the two seasons they were all primary ball carriers (really 1.5 seasons for Moore and Evans due to Moore's injury). Unless, you're saying Cox, Moore, and Evans weren't that good? Sure, he's going against FCS talent... but he also has FCS talent blocking for him. Again, you put him behind a Sun Belt line, he has a very good chance at leading the country in rushing yards and TDs. Kid is electric. Also, remember, we were Moore's ONLY offer so there is PLENTY of unfound talent out there. Just because he's at an FCS school doesn't mean he's not good.

Our coaches and players were prepared for Jayson Foster in 2007 too... and well, we know what happened there. We were also prepared for Matt Sczur in 2010 too... and well, we know what happened there. We were also prepared for Christian Reyes and Malcolm Dixon from Charleston Southern in 2013... and well, we know what happened there. The last example is the first game that came to mind when having a lot of young, unproven talent on the defensive side of the ball and an upperclassman skill player on offense that took advantage of the youth. The first two examples were just what immediately popped into my head about an electric opposing player just absolutely dominating us -- even though the coaches and players were prepared. An electric player can make all preparation seem moot.

My whole point isn't I think we are going to lose or we won't be prepared. My whole point is we are young on defense going against an innovative offense ran by an up and coming offensive genius with an electric RB that is going to be schemed to get the ball in his hands. If our young talent on the defensive side of the ball isn't as prepared as we hope or hesitate a little bit because it's their first start, it could be a long day seeing the back of #22 on the way in to the end zone. I don't think we'll lose. I think we'll be in the drivers seat the entire time.

I am just voicing they have a lot more talent than majority of our fans will think so it may not be a complete blow out. I hope I am eating crow in approximately 96 hours and Gaither starts the season with a negative average and we completely shut him down and completely dominate. This is not an "excuse" as you'll likely attempt to claim. I am simply jotting down the information I obtained when I did my research on this weeks opponent.

All of this, and I haven't even touched on the fact we have a QB making their first start, two book ends on the line making their first start (one that has never played o line before but has talent but will likely make mistakes), and two completely new coordinators and a bunch of new staff....

And the use of butt hurt was because you keep getting butt hurt when I prove your "expertise" is actually a fallacy and you're incorrect.

But...... I am still waiting on your answers below..

How would you defend against a y exit with dog and anchor dig/flat leverage but man boundary...

Or with X glide and back laser and rocket against an inside shade with anchor having an a gap read...

yep it's going to be a long season...... hoping for 3- 2 in September

Okay, none of my options (and that's all they are) are popular. I feel like expectations have been lowered over the past few years. Going into last year 8-4 seemed about right. We played Carolina and A&M and had a rough conference schedule (Coastal, Marshall and Southern on the road). This year's conference schedule seems easier, those three are at home, as is So. Miss. ECU feels likes an extremely important game. We should beat GW (not by 50) and loose to Carolina. Wyoming is going to be tough. No one knows if they are good. They are well coached. And Laramie is basically the Moon (500ft higher than twice Boone's altitude). Loose to ECU and we're likely 1-3. If that, nightmare, scenario happens, we'll be 4-11 against our last FBS opponents. That really could happen.

I do think the start of this season won't be as emotionally draining, which should help the couple of games after ECU.

Last year the emotional roller coaster caught up to the team in the JMU game. We were on tilt in the second half, pets heads were falling off.

[Yosef10]

Sure, there’s some newer faces, but I wouldn’t exactly call the defense young. And those who are younger did seem to play significant reps last year.

Yep, new QB, but if the S&C program lives up to its billing then App and the OL should be able to lean on GW all day long.

Every reasonable person here understands the programs turnover etc, but man, some of y’all are laying it on thick to seemingly grease the skids for a letdown come Saturday. But I guess it’s what we’ve come to expect out of some.

Sounds like you have absolutely no faith in our players or coaches. Maybe your expectations have been lowered but not everyone's. Definite loss to NC and we'll be damn lucky if we beat Wyoming? A very possible loss to ECU that could really land us at 1-3?
I agree we possibly could be 1-3 at that point but we could also be 4-0. Let's play the games before we automatically put them in the loss column.
By the way, NC does have a good QB but they aren't, as a team, the gold standard of college football by any means.

may i post

1-0 baby !!!!

beat GW...like the dogs they are ....woop, woop
